During a late-season game against the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1994-1995 season, Maxwell casually walked several rows into the crowd before punching a fan.Rob Perez@WorldWideWobtimes sure have changed. CJ McCollum getting a flagrant foul for *that* reminds me of when Vernon Maxwell walked into the crowd, fought a fan, and just went back to the bench for the timeout huddle like nothing happened.181892138times sure have changed.

He claimed that the fan began by making racial remarks. Upon getting no response from the player, the fan switched his attention to his daughter, as well as his wife's recent miscarriage.The fan denied Maxwell's allegations and claimed that he simply commented on the fact that he had only scored five points at the end of the third quarter.
